She is past chair and active member of the IMIA working group on health technology assessment and quality. | Professor Andrew Georgiou Andrew heads the Diagnostic Informatics team of the Centre of Health Systems and Safety Research at Macquarie University. He is an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Medical Informatics and the co-Chair of the International Medical Informatics Association Working Group on Technology Assessment and Quality Development. | About the Book All health informatics practitioners want to improve care by effective, evidence-based health IT interventions. All sciences need theory: we argue this should move from a niche interest to a core concern of health informatics. Our field uses theory from health sciences, information sciences and social sciences. The purpose of the book is to move forward the agenda of evidence-based health informatics by emphasising theory-informed work that aims to “enrich our understanding of this uniquely complex field”. Our aim is to provide a scientific knowledge base to support education, research and implementation. | Selected Papers from the 27th Australian National Health Informatics Conference (HIC 2019) Editors: Cummings, E., Merolli, M., Schaper, L.K. This book presents the proceedings of HIC 2019, the annual Australian national conference for Health Informatics, held in Melbourne, Australia, from 12 – 14 August 2019. The conference provides the ideal environment for clinicians, researchers, health IT professionals, industry and consumers to gather and share their knowledge, to drive innovative thinking, enhance services, improve data-driven decision making, and allow greater consumer involvement. | Editors: Marcilly, R., Kuziemsky, C.E., Nøhr, C., Pelayo, S. This book presents papers from CSHI 2019, the international conference on Context Sensitive Health Informatics, held in Lille, France, on 23 and 24 August 2019. The subtitle of the conference was Sustainability in Dynamic Ecosystems, and the thirty papers included here are divided into six sections: understanding organizational contexts; towards sustainable EHR; different contexts for medication errors and patient safety; methods and models to study contexts for health information systems; citizens in health contexts; and designing and evaluating in contexts. Two keynote speeches from the conference are also included. | Proceedings of the 17th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics Editors: Ohno-Machado , L., Séroussi, B. This book presents the proceedings of MEDINFO 2019, the 17th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics, held in Lyon, France, from 25 to 30 August 2019. The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Health and Wellbeing: E-Networks for All’, stressing the increasing importance of networks in healthcare on the one hand, and the patient-centered perspective on the other. Over 1100 manuscripts were submitted to the conference and, after a thorough review process by at least three reviewers and assessment by a scientific program committee member, 285 papers and 296 posters were accepted, together with 47 podium abstracts, 7 demonstrations, 45 panels, 21 workshops and 9 tutorials. All accepted paper and poster contributions are included in these proceedings. The papers are grouped under four thematic tracks: interpreting health and biomedical data, supporting care delivery, enabling precision medicine and public health, and the human element in medical informatics. The posters are divided into the same four groups. | A Knowledge Base for Practitioners Editors: Scott, P., De Keizer, N., Georgiou, A. This book: Applied Interdisciplinary Theory in Health Informatics: A Knowledge Base for Practitioners, explores the theories that have been applied in health informatics and the differences they have made. The editors, all proponents of evidence-based health informatics, came together within the European Federation of Medical Informatics (EFMI) Working Group on Health IT Evaluation and the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Working Group on Technology Assessment and Quality Development. The purpose of the book, which has a foreword by Charles Friedman, is to move forward the agenda of evidence-based health informatics by emphasizing theory-informed work aimed at enriching the understanding of this uniquely complex field. The book takes the AMIA definition as particularly helpful in its articulation of the three foundational domains of health informatics: health science, information science, and social science and their various overlaps, and this model has been used to structure the content of the book around the major subject areas. | International health informatics is driven by developments in biomedical technologies and medical informatics research that are advancing in parallel and form one integrated world of information and communication media and result in massive amounts of health data. These components include genomics and precision medicine, machine learning, translational informatics, intelligent systems for clinicians and patients, mobile health applications, data-driven telecommunication and rehabilitative technology, sensors, intelligent home technology, EHR and patient-controlled data, and Internet of Things. Studies in Health Technology and Informatics (HTI) series was started in 1990 in collaboration with EU programmes that preceded the Horizon 2020 to promote biomedical and health informatics research. It has developed into a highly visible global platform for the dissemination of original research in this field, containing more than 250 volumes and approx. 10-15 volumes are added annually of high-quality works from all over the world. The series is available on print as well as electronically. The international Editorial Board selects publications with relevance and quality for the field. All contributions to the volumes in the series are peer reviewed. The HTI series is indexed by MEDLINE/PubMed; Web of Science:
Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S) and Book Citation Index - Science (BKCI-S); Google Scholar; Scopus. | If you know any colleagues and fellow researchers who are not yet signed up to receive the newsletter, we invite you to share this mailing with them.
